In an office where we do training programs for a a large hospital system, we are always on the lookout for new icebreakers that don't make people feel too self-conscious. People loved this activity(3 items from the star under your right thumb)right away. We prefaced it saying there are almost no wrong answers. If you want to say you put chocolate in your spaghetti sauce or play with bricks in a pool, who are we to say you are wrong?

I bought this ball for my dad who has advanced Alzheimers. He can sometimes do the question part but often can just play catch w/it! It's a fun way to engage him w/the grandkids. But then I bought a few more for my office to use as a fun way to start meetings and brainstormers. Not necessarily using the topic prompts on the ball but just making up our own icebreaker questions: WHen you catch the ball say your favorite vacation spot! etc.
